We make these engines (well the T56 version only spare parts as the AE is the newer engine)

Mine is under renovation. Pardon the mess, it is a working man's man cave/garage/shop,etc. I also will be moving several times within the next couple of years for the USAF.

I "lost" my '72 Corvette for 3 years (2010-2013)....can you spot it?

My 1970 Ford Mustang 428 Cobra Jet project. I am currently 23. I have had this car since high school. The '72 orange Vette I have had since I was 15. I had 5 seconds to jump from the camera, up the jack and turn around for that shot under the hood. Not bad considering the circumstances, IMO.

For me, my driveway is an extension of the garage/ man cave. I don't have a couch or a TV, yet, but for me...wrenching on the cars is what I do in my man cave. My room is an extension of that as well. I have a pretty large bedroom. It is roughly the size of an over sized 1 car garage. I have stored most of the shell of my '70 Mustang in my room at one time. Anyways that is what is up with me.

That's definitely a nice collection.

Just bought a house but the mancave is going to be a next summer project... going to do a 65" LG OLED 4k tv. Sonus Faber (not sonos) speakers for the front with Bowers and Wilkins M1's for my surrounds and still undecided on the heights for Dolby Atmos. Sub will be either a Dynamo 1000 (or 700s) or a dual setup with SVS SB13-Ultra and PB12-Plus (one is sealed and one ported for different uses)

I have the Marantz SR6010 receiver and MM7055 amp for the Sonus Faber speakers which are being ordered within the week.

Waiting for Sony to come out with a 4k Blu-ray player because the existing Samsung is junk and why not buy from the company who designed it.

 

Gonna fill the walls and ceiling with Roxul Safe and Sound insulation with a plan being that you wouldn't be able to hear much of anything outside the room. so whether I am gaming, watching a movie, or listening to music one wouldn't know without joining me :D

Here's mine, 40x60 shop with 20x40 living quarters. I decided to rent out my house after I spend all of my free time in the shop and its the best decision I've ever made. I'll have to get a good pic of the bar I built in the shop..

This is a man.

That man says: "Stop calling your garage or basement a Man Cave, fool! Man Cave is a shitty term that only shitty people use, so grow up and stop being a shitty shithead, fool!"

Thought this was man caves?? Making me depressed to see these badass shops...damn impressive. I'm jealous!! Does my 5x10 storage unit with an old crummy motorcycle in it count?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
